Poetry

IQ/Average

Defaults: IQ-5 or Writing-5.

This is the ability to compose “good” poetry of any type native to your culture, in any language you know. A successful roll lets you write one good poem in an appropriate amount of time (GM’s decision). A failed roll might mean that you couldn’t get inspired – or that your audience just didn’t care for your work (for whatever reason).

Modifiers: The time modifiers under Time Spent (p. 346) will often apply; Cultural Familiarity modifiers (p. 23); Language modifiers (p. 23).
